Getting the puppy is the exciting part. Living with them is where reality begins. Chaos N Kisses helps future and new dog parents prepare for real life and build strong basic foundations from the start.
This is not about creating robotic dogs. It is about helping dogs learn how to live safely and confidently in the human world while helping their people understand the animal standing in front of them.
Your dog does not need to be perfect. They need to understand how to live safely and confidently in your world. And you need to understand theirs.
Chaos N Kisses focuses on preparation, communication, confidence, cooperative care, realistic expectations and practical skills that matter in everyday life.
No cookie-cutter puppy program. No race to collect commands. We work with the dog and household in front of us.
Chaos N Kisses helps future and new dog parents prepare for life with a dog, understand what they are taking on and build strong basic foundations from the start.
We are not here to replace specialized trainers or behaviour professionals. When a dog needs advanced training, behaviour modification or specialized support, we believe in bringing in the right professional for the job.
Personalized guidance before making the commitment. Explore lifestyle compatibility, breed and size, puppy versus adult dog, household dynamics, time, cost, sourcing, adoption and realistic first-year expectations.
A private pre-arrival preparation session for people who have chosen their puppy or new dog and have a homecoming date.
When your dog comes home, you already have a plan.
Practical, relationship-centred support for puppies, newly adopted dogs and dogs settling into a new home.
Chaos N Kisses training is practical, relationship-centred and non-coercive. We focus on communication, environment, repetition, confidence and basic skills that translate into real life.
Because a dog who only knows how to behave during a training exercise has not necessarily learned how to live in your world.
A free puppy-readiness self-evaluation tool.
Getting a dog goes far beyond the cute moments. CNK PAWS helps future dog parents take an honest look at their lifestyle, time, finances, expectations and readiness before bringing a puppy home.
It is designed to help people ask the questions that are much easier to answer before a dog enters the picture.
